Teeta's father's mother was named Alice Mary Spencer Morgan and was from Arkansas.

Mary Alice Morgan , or Teeta, (her nickname), married her first husband, James Norman McNeese. Their marriage was held in Denton, Texas, USA. Dr. James Norman McNeese became a psychiatrist. They had two children, Amanda and Marcus McNeese.
Teeta once told me, when I asked her if she had wished she that she had never had the children that passed away, she said: "Absolutely not! I would never had seen their personalities develop!" She taught all of her children to read. She taught me a lot of Latin and Spanish. She was a fluent speaker of French, Spanish and Latin. She taught at Texas Tech university.
Teeta's second husband, was Mark Spencer Smith. He was a trial attorney. My mother, Teeta, told me that she wanted to have many pretty children with Mark who was a handsome man. She got her wish. They had eight children.
Teeta went to college at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas while keeping her family from imploding.
Mark Spencer Smith, her second husband, was a trial attorney and was also an alcoholic and was unbearable as the disease of alcoholism began to control Mark Spencer Smith's brain.. Teeta went through 2 divorces with Mark Spencer Smith.
After her 2nd, (3 divorces total), divorce from Mark Spence Smith, she accepted a position teaching at a private high school in Houston, Texas. That position lasted a year and then she moved for a year to Nassau, Bahamas to work on her dissertation.
She then moved to Guyman, Oklahoma to teach at Panhandle State University. During that time her daughter , Deirdre, died and she then moved to Austin, Texas where she taught Spanish at Austin Community College.
While in Austin she found a position in Georgetown, Texas at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. After several years at Southwestern University she moved back to Austin, Texas.
Teeta then found and purchased a house in Austin, Texas and began teaching at Austin Community College.
After a year at Austin Community College she spent a year at Winona State University, in Winona, Minnesota.
After a year there, she returned to Austin, Texas and continued teaching part-time at ACC & traveled across Austin with her close friend Marge Beasley, a census worker, to translate for Spanish speakers. Marge told us that the Spanish speakers were delighted with Teeta's Spanish and were delighted to answer those pesky census questions for this lovely, caucasian woman that spoke flawless Spanish!
I inherited Teeta's gift for languages and can only feel a sense of gratitude for all of her other traits that have made my life better.
